to decide. cigarettes - more specifically, the manufacture and sale of cigarettes - issan example of crony capitalism. tucced deep inside the 600-page highway bill recently signed into law was a small paragraph that effeetively wipes out roll-your-own cigarette shops. roll-your-own shops are mom and pop operations where customers purchase loose tobacco and cigarettes. they're cheaper than the name-brandss and they don't have chemical additives. roll-your-own shops were not banned due to any health reasons. but due to competitioo. the paragraph phht wiied out the shops was slipped into the bill by montana senator max baucus. since 2000, baucus has received $20,000 in pac contributions from altria - the $70 billion tooaaco company. the real issue isn't about selling tooacco. it's about the cozy relationship between members f congress and the special interests they serve. ttere is a world of difference between being pro- business and prr-free markets. what's to top congress from businesses? lunch trucks, roadside sttnds, farmers' markets, co-opss by the way, this was a ipartisan effort. republicans and democrats

overwhelmingly passed the highway bill. for more on this story isit behind the headlines dot net and follow us on twitttr and facebook. i'm mark hyman.
